There's no air base near the town of Lashkar Gah, the airstrip you can see is Bost Airfield, which (very) rarely gets used by the local population, and it has been mined in the past. The only aircraft I've ever seen photographed on the airfield, was missing large chunks due to hitting a landmine. Not sure if the bits are still there. The Brit airbase is some way away from the town, and there is a Provincial Reconstruction Team base within the town, to assist with security and reconstruction (they have built and repaired schools, playparks, midwife colleges, hospitals and wells, amongst other things) Post Extras
